Practices fully Thursday Ogundeji (shoulder) practiced as a full participant Thursday.

Impact Ogundeji suffered a shoulder injury during the team's Week 5 matchup against Tampa Bay and missed Sunday's contest versus the 49ers as a result. However, his ability to practice in full Thursday suggests he's moved past the issue, and he'll likely continue hovering around 50 percent of Atlanta's defensive snaps Sunday against the Bengals.

Sitting out Sunday Ogundeji (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Impact Ogundeji was listed as questionable on Friday after sustaining a shoulder injury during Week 5's matchup against the Bucs but is now unable to suit up. Arnold Ebiketie will likely get his first start and play a more expanded pass-rushing role Sunday.

Listed as questionable for Sunday Ogundeji is questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers due to a shoulder injury.

Impact Ogundeji presumably picked up the shoulder injury during the team's Week 5 loss to Tampa Bay and was limited at each practice ahead of Week 6. If the second-year linebacker is unable to suit up, rookie second-round pick Arnold Ebiketie would likely step into an expanded pass-rushing role against San Francisco.

Draws start in preseason opener Ogundeji played seven snaps but didn't record any counting stats during Friday's preseason opener against the Lions.

Impact Ogundeji was listed as the starting outside linebacker opposite of Lorenzo Carter and, along with the rest of the starters, played just one defensive series. The 2021 fifth-round pick appeared in 17 games as a rookie and registered 33 tackles and one sack. However, with Dante Fowler gone, Ogundeji appears to have a good shot at opening the 2022 season with an increased role along Atlanta's defensive front.

Blocks field goal Sunday Ogundeji registered two tackles (one solo) and blocked a field-goal attempt during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Ogundeji was expected to see an increased role during Week 7 with Dante Fowler (knee) on injured reserve. The rookie fifth-round pick's production was lackluster, but he displayed his playmaking ability by blocking a 49-yard field-goal attempt at the beginning of the second quarter. While the Notre Dame product is talented, he will likely remain unplayable in IDP formats until his production starts to match his ability.

Next man up With The Athletic reporting that Dante Fowler has been placed in injured reserve, Ogundeji is expected to see in an increased role on the Falcons' defense.

Impact Ogundeji has recorded just five tackles (four solo) and one sack in the three games he has seen action on the field for this season. The Notre Dame product was taken in the fifth round in the NFL Draft this past offseason. He will now have an opportunity to make an impression.
